  • Answer

Let ABCDABCD be a square, and let EE and FF be points on AB‾\overline{AB} and BC‾,\overline{BC}, respectively. The line through EE parallel to BC‾\overline{BC} and the line through FF parallel to AB‾\overline{AB} divide ABCDABCD into two squares and two nonsquare rectangles. The sum of the areas of the two squares is 910\frac{9}{10} of the area of square ABCD.ABCD. Find AEEB+EBAE.\frac{AE}{EB} + \frac{EB}{AE}.
